    Same time, I can't see him lying. On the other hand if the COMPANY isn't making massive revenues maybe its because of the owners being the BOXERS. Not massive profits but still work in there for the ex-professionals.
    It could be that De La Hoya and Schaffer are taking such big salaries that it drives down the bottom line...

        also they are investing in a lot of different stuff. remember gbp tried to go into business with affliction and that ***** bombed.

        top rank is just involved in boxing. i'm sure arum has other businesses and investments, but that ***** is separate from top rank.

          Arum is one arrogant individual.

          If he was an ice cream, no doubt he would lick himself.

            After Margs vs Cotto, and Pac vs Mosley I don't see any other big fights for Top Rank. Juanma is as big as he'll get, Gamboa will possibly get bigger. I think the future actually looks brighter for GBP with Canelo, victor Ortiz, Amir Khan, Maidana, David Haye. Plus others worthy of HBO dates and new deal with Televisa. Don't get me wrong TR has control right now, but after Pac Margs and Cotto I don't see anyone carrying the company either. Prospect wise I really don't know who they have, Bam Bam Rios is TV friendly and can potentially become a star, but I don't know if his style will take him to the top. Mikey Garcia another guy possibly going to do big things.

            I wonder what happens when Arum can't do it anymore. I mean the guy is 79 and could only do it so much longer.

            In 1-2 yrs if Canelo continues his winning ways, he will be bigger than any TR fighter.

                  What does Oscar's money have to do with mismanagement and development of fighters at GBP?

                    I dont know why Arum is so bitter towards GBP. Personally for me if something or someone wasn't posing a threat to my business I wouldn't mention them. It could also be that TR is losing control of being in the drivers seat. With GBP getting all the HBO dates, and a major deal with televisa who is way bigger than TV azteca, maybe Arum is bitter, and his company has seen better days. Then they have the Nokia Theater fights, I don't know but if your being mentioned good or bad, your doing something right. HBO+ Televisa > Showtime+ TV Azteca.

                    I guess we will see who will be the last standing between the two.
